I've been using KDE4 as the main desktop on my openSUSE 11.0 install and have run into a few minor... well maybe not so minor issues I am trying to sort out.. Just wondering if anyone else has bumped into the same problems yet or if it's just a result of my tinkering... I've updated everything to 4.0.84 - as far as I can tell, this is the most recent build of KDE4 1. Amarok 1.4.9.1. Amarok pushes CPU0 to 100% and stays there until I kill Amarok and the amarokcollection process. The problem seems to be the amarokcollecton process. Is there a newer version of Amarok around? or a KDE4 version? I haven't been able to find one yet. 2. The KMenu. I don't like the "slab" menu, so I switch it to the traditional menu. This works OK for a while... when you click the menu button, you are presented with top level menus.. Games, Graphics, Internet with sub menus and applications hanging off that. At some point the sub menus end up mirroring the top level menu so that no matter what sub menu you go into all you see is more of the top level menu. The "fix" I've found is to switch to the "slab" and then back to the traditional menu. 3. Adding new applications. New applications do not show up in the KMenu unless I do the slab/traditional menu switch thing or log out and back in again. 4. Superkaramba. There is a KDE4 "version" of Superkaramba, but transparency does not work. There is a popup that suggests enabling desktop effects to make transparencies work. This does change the background of the Superkaramba widgets... from white to black, but it does not enable transparencies. Are there desktop widgets that can be used to monitor CPU load, network traffic, disk usage, and sensors? 5. After updating to 4.0.84, I lost the menu entry for "Personal Settings". It's not found anywhere except the Favorites menu. So far, this is all I haven't resolved with KDE4. Everything else is working well so far.

I wasn't asking here to restart the flame war. I am using KDE4 by choice, and I like it.. it's new.. there will be rough edges.. I know that. There were the same rough edges in the transition from KDE2 to KDE3. That Wiki page is not very helpful... nor is it up to date. Things work quite well for the most part in 4.0.84. I do not want this to degrade into another whining match either. What I posted as problems I've bumped into are legit problems, and ones I'd like to either resolve as config issue son my end or raise as bugs if they are not already. I've been poking through the bug reports, but haven't found anything similar yet... (prob because I'm using the wrong keywords as usual) C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Perhaps KDE 4 should be called "Linux Vista". ;-) -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

LOL! It sure seems to fit -- at least, according to my experience so far. Both my Linux boxes are currently back at KDE3. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
